Public bug reported: The data package compiled into supplied ICU libs is extremely out of date. I.e. the timezone information in libicu52 (Ubuntu 14) is as old as 2013g. The "newest" shipped tzdata in Bionic is 2017c, which is about as "new" as the one in Trusty. Means, pretty much rotten by now.
It wouldn't be so hard to override it with env. vars, if not for applications, which intentionally clear environments at startup. F.e. PHP FPM. ** Affects: icu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795651 Title: ICU data package is grossly outdated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/1795651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
